I was one of the unfortunate people who backed this non-starter. Does anyone know which bookies treated it as a non-runner???? Thanks
All bookies should really offer a refund.
No they shouldn’t. Plenty of clues regarding her attitude pre-race.
What can i say, i take the side of the punter. If you back a player to score in a football match and he dosen’t start, you get a refund if a goal is scored before he enters the field. I don’t see how racing should be any different.

Suppose he just doesn’t try? You’re not comparing like for like.
He would try though, once he’s crossed the line. The horse in question didn’t get over the starting line.

I backed the horse early in the morning so didn’t have the luxury of watching her go to post, but given that she was under orders I can’t have too many complaints.
It happens, sadly.
What about the punters that laid her on betfair because they saw she was being a cow to post?

A few years ago, they’d probably have had their stake returned as the horse was never actually ‘at the post’. And no, I didn’t have a bet in the race.

Surely those backing her at the time had the same opportunity to view her pre-race antics, DJ? If they didn’t have the means to see it then that can’t be helped.
That’s my point. Anyone that took a risk laying her at inflated odds because of her antics deserves to be paid out on her not winning.
Did Paddy Power apply a R4 to winning bets or was this an act of goodwill?
Why should winning punters pay for a horse that came under orders and offically ‘refused to race’. Although I have every sympathy for anyone who did back her but your pays your money….
